The projected decrease in jobs over the next several years will have relatively little impact at the individual agency level, except perhaps in the largest brokerage firms. Agency principals will continue to be faced with attracting and retaining good producers and service reps. Even in areas where insurance company mergers and layoffs have put a number of insurance professionals out on the street, finding people with agency sales and service experience is difficult and often very expensive.

I've always found it amazing that in an industry where we constantly claim that we sell service, ' we have no common words to define it, no standardized system to measure it, no performance guidelines to enforce it, and no evaluation system to monitor it. More than 65% of the CSRs I've surveyed say they've never attended a workshop or read a book on customer service skills. What's even more astonishing is that the main quality control system for customer service in the agency business is Errors & Omissions insurance.

... . The starting point is to define what better service' really means — and the best way to do that is to ask your customers. Here's how Visit some good customers, and ask them to describe what they mean by better service. Then ask them to rate your agency on these criteria, not yours. This exercise should be very revealing. After gathering this information, turn it into a survey or questionnaire that's short and anonymous. You might want to have a professional market research firm or consultant help. Get the survey into the hands of your customers, asking them to rate your agency and each of your key contact people.
